Default Rear only body lift question

Has anyone installed a body lift to the rear end only? I have a 4 inch pro-comp lift and it seems like my back end sits just a bit lower than my front and I have been toying with the idea of lifting just the rear. Anyone try this?

You definetely do not want to do that. Get coil spacers and/or even a coil perch correction to add height.

That wouldn't be possible. A heavy bumper and/or winch will fix it. You could always do a coil spacer in the rear. Most complain about the front being to low, I would just leave it

Teraflex makes different size rear only spacers that can be used with or without the factory rear isolators. Thus, you can add thicker spacers to both sides (say 1" spacers) but use only the passenger side factory isolator and the end result is total lift for both sides and now leveled also (if your rear tire carrier attaches to the passenger side).

OK I will look into this. I don't mind the look of a slightly higher rear... not noticeable, but I will wait until after I install the winch to see how it works out.

Thanks for all of the input.
